swollen lymph node in armpit

HI, I posted a few weeks ago about having very distended veins at certain times of the day..I am currently pregnant and you said it was normal..I now notice if I dig up into my underarm a lymph node about the size of a small  grape..it is hard to feel because it moves around so much..is this something to be concerned about? at my last ob/gyn appointment my doctor said my breast were very engorged and swollen..could this be why the node is swollen? I am 13 weeks pregnant..I  didn't  find the node until after the docotrs appointment..

Dear renie:  Nodes can be swollen for a variety of reasons, including infection and even cancer.  If you are concerned you should have your doctor evaluate it.

hello...i basically wanted to know do swollen lymph nodes have stuff secreting out of them if you were to squeeze them. And are you likely to have other symptoms along with a swollen lymph node. Also how long do swollen lymph node last?
